TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 2, 2015) - Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company" or "Supreme") (OTC PINK:SPRWF)(CSE:SL) is pleased to announce a limited time incentive program (the "Incentive Program") commencing December 7, 2015 to exercise 12,607,349 outstanding common share purchase warrants (the "April Warrants") issued pursuant to the Company's April 23, 2015 private placement (see news release dated April 23, 2015).

"We are pleased to be the first issuer on the Canadian Securities Exchange to utilize a warrant incentive program. We have enjoyed strong shareholder support this year and management decided it is advantageous for Supreme to look to its existing security holders to strengthen our treasury and accelerate go-to-market initiatives," stated John Fowler, President of Supreme.

Pursuant to the Incentive Program, holders of the April Warrants who exercise such warrants before January 8, 2016 shall, in addition to the common share the holder would have received pursuant to the terms of the April Warrants, receive an additional common share purchase warrant (each an "Incentive Warrant" together the "Incentive Warrants"). Each Incentive Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.32 before April 23, 2020, subject to accelerated expiry in certain circumstances. The Incentive Warrants, and any common shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, will be subject to a four month hold period from the date on which the Incentive Warrants are issued.

If a holder of an April Warrant does not participate in the Incentive Program, the April Warrant shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with its terms. If a holder exercises only a portion of his or her April Warrants pursuant to the Incentive Program, any unexercised April Warrants shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with its terms.
